How do we make the connections between the mutual aid practices of our daily lives and anti-capitalist efforts to dismantle wider systems of exploitation?
Quasi-theatrical multiple-projector pieces play with the relationship between performers, art and audiences.
A conversation of intergenerational trans-resistance and anti-racist fierceness between two of the most inspiring public speakers we know.

A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.
